Enslaved는 Vikingligr veldi를 통해 가장 인상이 강한 데뷔식을 치뤘다. 이 앨범은 Bathory가 Blood Fire Death와 Hammerheart에서 바이킹 메탈을 창시한 이래로 그 뒤를 잇는 걸출한 노작으로 현재까지 평가되고 있다. Enslaved는 이 앨범 한 장을 통해 북유럽 메탈 씬에서 거물 대우를 받고 있다고 해도 과언이 아닐 것이다. 이후에도 그들은 뛰어난 작품 활동을 해나가지만 그들이 누리는 위치는 전적으로 이 앨범에서 기원하고 있다. 그렇기 때문인지 Vikingligr veldi의 바로 후속 앨범인 Frost는 상당히 잘 만든 작품이면서도 그리 좋은 평가를 받고 있지는 못하다. 이유는 하나일 수밖에 없다. Vikingligr veldi를 듣다보면 정말 이 앨범은 심심하게 들릴 정도다. 어떤 이들은 데뷔 앨범에 좋은 곡들을 다 수록하고 남은 곡들을 후속 앨범에 실었을 뿐이라고 혹평하기까지 하다. 곡들에서 풍기는 분위기가 달라 그렇지 않다고 생각하고 있지만, 워낙 짧은 텀을 두고 후속 앨범이 나온지라 의심이 가는 구석도 있다. 하지만, 아무리 여러번 들어도 이 앨범이 B-side 곡들 모음집이라는 생각은 그다지 들지 않는다. Vikingligr veldi와 같은 신비스러운 음산함은 Frost에서는 그리 풍겨지고 있지는 않지만, 삭막하고 황량한 분위기는 Enslaved가 참으로 뛰어난 장인 집단이라는 ... See More

Enslaved managed to release 2 fantastic albums in 1994, and it’s a toss up between which is better. They have surprisingly different sounds to them, but due to Frost’s further foray into Viking Metal, it fills a niche as the best Viking Metal album of 1994.
Frost is an incredibly well-played album especially in the world of Black Metal. Songs are approaching Progressive territory with how many changes they have, and there’s a great variety to the drumming as opposed to some of the other Black Metal of the time. Music is dense and often features acoustic instruments and keys backing the primary Metal ensemble. The acoustic guitars especially do a great job adding some extra melodies and a folky atmosphere.
One real problem here… it’s not really Viking Metal. It’s got the lyrical content and some of that folky feel, but overall, the music here is very much Black Metal. Another problem is the song Yggdrasil, which is an awful slog to get through… the rest of the album is strictly great material.

Bathory이후로 바이킹적인 냄새가 짙었던 Enslaved 의 2집 입니다.바이킹블랙?하면 바쏘리 이후로 후배 밴드들에서 많은걸 물려줬던 스타일을 고스란이 계승?한 느낌이 상당히 강하며,Trym Torson->Emperor 의 드러머 도 재직?했던 시절에 나온 90년대 초반에 나온 바이킹 블랙이며,전형적인 템포체인지 와 어쿠스틱한 부분적인 흐름 그리고 전체적인 심플한 흐름이 복잡하며서도 짜임새 있게 이어지는 바이킹 블랙 입니다.

역시 Enslaved 답게 좋은 멜로디와 리프릴 가지고 시원시원하게 달려준다. 하지만 1집이 너무 훌륭하기도 했고 이 앨범 Frost는 듣다보면 살짝 지루해지는 감이 없지 않기 때문에.. 좋기는 하나 약간의 아쉬움이 남는 앨범. 85점.

Fierce & evil in a way that implies hardship, suffering, & struggle. That icy intro does a lot to set the mood. Highlights like the wicked laughing at the end of track 2 show they really put thought & effort in. More importantly, they did the same with the instrumentation which is full of interesting twists & turns while keeping the fury & attitude that define great black metal.

데뷔작 Vikingligr veldi 에서 보여준 놀라운 서사와 마치 수도꼭지에서 물방울 떨어지는듯한 톤으로 빚어냈던 몽환적 흐름을 기대하고 들었기에, 그만큼 실망감도 크게 다가온 작품으로, 전작의 발끝을 간신히 쫓아가는 듯한 인상을 줍니다. 아마추어 카피밴드가 Vikingligr veldi를 듣고 감명받아 어설프게 만들어낸 작품같이 들려 아쉽습니다. 거친 마감이 매력이자 흠.
